Changing my wife's email address

I now have an AppleOne subscription with iCloud+.


Years ago, when we set up my Apple iCloud Family, I made an account for my less technically literate wife. To simplify things, I wanted to keep her down to one email address, so her Apple ID is her Gmail account.


Now everyone in the family can use email aliases and other nice iCloud+ email features except my wife. Is there any way to convert her AppleID to have an icloud.com email address?

To do this procedure, you must create the iCloud account one month in advance


later, you must free that account, changing the email address, for another that ends in any other domain


This will be so that the account@icloud.com, is free, and, available to be used with your wife's Apple ID
